About Kirsty
Hello! I’m Kirsty, an educator and the founder of Happy Minds. I hold a Master’s degree in Education specialising in Psychology of Education, an Honours degree in Psychology, and a PGCE. My academic and professional background brings together psychology, education and neuroscience, with a particular focus on understanding how young people learn and develop within educational environments.
I believe that every learner is different, yet students are often expected to succeed without ever being taught how to learn. My approach is therefore practical, personalised and focused on equipping learners with skills they can use independently - not simply helping them get through their next test.
Whether we are working on study skills, academic goals, career decisions or navigating school challenges, I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel heard, encouraged and empowered.
My goal is simple: to help young people become confident, capable and independent learners - because when students understand their minds, they can begin to believe in themselves.

Academic success is about more than intelligence or ability. These personalised coaching sessions help learners develop the practical skills, habits and confidence they need to manage school more effectively and work towards meaningful academic goals.
Together, we can work on areas such as goal-setting, motivation, organisation, workload management, time management, overcoming academic challenges and developing greater self-management. Sessions are supportive and practical, with strategies tailored to each learner rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
The aim is to help students become more confident, capable and independent in managing their own learning. Sessions are suitable for learners aged 8–18 and are conducted in English, with online sessions available internationally.
